Xiaomi Sets April Launch for Updated SU7 as EV Push Accelerates

Xiaomi said its next-generation SU7 electric sedan will launch in April 2026, giving its first mass-market car a refreshed push as the company continues building out its electric vehicle business in China.

• Pre-orders for the updated SU7 are now open in China.
• The refreshed model starts at about 229,900 yuan and tops out at 309,900 yuan.
• Xiaomi says the car adds longer range, improved safety systems and advanced driver-assistance features.

April launch confirmed

Xiaomi disclosed the launch timing on Chinese social media, saying the updated SU7 will debut in April 2026. The model is a facelift of the company’s original SU7, which became Xiaomi’s first mass-market electric vehicle after its launch in early 2024.

The new version is already available for preorder in China, according to the company’s pricing information.

Pricing and key upgrades

The standard version of the refreshed SU7 starts at about 229,900 yuan, while the top-trim version is priced at 309,900 yuan. Xiaomi says the update brings extended driving range, stronger safety systems and advanced driver-assistance technology across the lineup.

The company did not detail every hardware change in the announcement, but the update appears aimed at keeping the SU7 competitive in China’s crowded electric sedan market.

Why it matters for Xiaomi

The SU7 has become a core part of Xiaomi’s broader push beyond smartphones and consumer electronics. The company has been leaning on the car business as a major growth area, and the refreshed sedan suggests Xiaomi is moving quickly to sustain momentum around one of its most visible new products.

For investors and shoppers alike, the April launch will be a key test of whether Xiaomi can keep demand strong as it expands its automotive lineup.
